China Wind Power Announces Delay in Filing Annual Financial Statements

China Wind Power International Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CNW) ("China Wind Power" or
the "Company") announced today that the filing of its annual financial
statements, management's discussion and analysis and related officer
certifications for the financial year ended March 31, 2012 (the "Annual
Filings") will be delayed beyond the filing deadline of July 30, 2012. The
Company expects to provide more detail via a subsequent news release early next
week. 


As a result of this delay, the Company intends to make an application to the
Ontario Securities Commission and other relevant securities regulatory
authorities under applicable securities legislation for the issuance of a
management and insider cease trade order ("MCTO") in connection with the
anticipated filing delay. If an MCTO is granted, it will prohibit the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and possibly the directors and
other insiders of the Company, from trading in securities of the Company for so
long as the Annual Filings have not been completed. The issuance of an MCTO
would generally not affect the ability of persons who are not, or who have not
been, directors, officers or other insiders of the Company to trade in the
Company's securities.
